OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Perform pre-start maintenance inspection on all applicable systems prior to operating the

machine. This is essential for safe, effective and efficient operation. You will get optimum

performance from your system ONLY if these instructions and inspections are followed. Any

indication that the pressure washing system was not operated and maintained according to these

instructions may result in voiding the manufacturers’ warranty.

Location – These machines are gasoline powered and must be used outside in a well ventilated

area.

Controls – Make sure all controls are turned to the off position.

Pump – Oil Level - Ensure that the pressure washer is on a level surface. Check oil level on dip stick. If the level is low, add the correct oil to the proper level. USE ONLY SAE 30 W NON-

DETERGENT OIL OR HYDRAULIC 68. DO NOT OVER FILL.

Gas Engine - Gasoline Level – The engine is a 4 cycle and uses regular octane, unleaded fuel.

DO NOT USE MIXED FUEL. Refer to the engine operation manual included with your

pressure-washing unit.

Gas engine - oil level – The engine is a 4 cycle and uses 10W30 detergent oil. Refer to Glossary

or engine manual.

Diesel engine – Refer to engine operation manual included with your high pressure cleaning equipment for oil and fuel recommendations.

Visually inspect all electrical components to assure they are in good condition, showing No

signs of exposure, breakage or splicing.

Visually inspect all hoses, nozzles and guns to assure they are in good condition. If

replacements are necessary they must be rated to withstand the machine’s operating

pressure.

2. Attach high-pressure hose to water outlet quick coupler Attach the other end of high pressure

hose (with quick coupler) to gun and wand assembly. Ensure that coupler connections are tightly

locked together. Apply a sharp pull on hose to confirm they are secured.

Attach wand nozzle specific to task requirements (i.e. chemical or high pressure).

[Quick Coupling Operation – Pull back sleeve end and insert male end into nozzle quick coupler,

release sleeve and confirm connection by pulling on nozzle].

3. Attach water source to water inlet located on pump. The water source must be attached with agood quality standard garden type hose (1/2” minimum is required). Connect male fitting into

water inlet on pump. Make sure that the inlet screen/filter is intact and fitted correctly. Turn on

water source. WATER MUST BE IN SUFFICIENT SUPPLY, AND PRESSURE MUST BE

BETWEEN 20 –60 PSI TO ENSURE PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION. Specific attention should be given if using a well water supply. Ensure water is flowing from end nozzle with trigger gun pulled. Deplete system of all air.

**Quick Coupler Operation – Pull back sleeve end and insert male end into nozzle quick coupler, release sleeve and confirm connection by pulling on nozzle.

Cold Water Gas • Rev. 12/05/2017

4. Start gas/diesel engine

Refer to instructions in engine manual. You may need to hold wand trigger open while starting

engine in order to let it turn over more easily. MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINEEXHAUST IS NOT FACING ANY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.

4. Pressure adjustment - The pressure regulator (unloader) is located on the pump (see diagram).

It controls the pressure being generated by the pressure washer. This regulator may be adjusted to

desired pressure by turning the adjustment knob. Turning the adjustment knob clockwise will

increase pressure. NEVER OPERATE SYSTEM AT A HIGHER PSI THAN THE

MAXIMUM RATING. This machine has been adjusted to operate at a specific maximum

pressure as per the machine specifications. Pressure may be reduced for lighter use by turning the

unloader counter clockwise. If continuing to turn the unloader clockwise does not increase the

pressure, then this implies the maximum has been reached for the system. Any further turning of

the unloader will cause the pressure to spike when the wand trigger is released, resulting in

possible damage to the machine. To avoid this effect, loosen the unloader (counter-clockwise)

until the pressure just starts to drop (see pump head pressure gauge) and until it no longer exceeds

the maximum pressure rating for the machine.

5. You are now ready to start the cleaning operation - Pull trigger on the gun and wand

assembly to start cleaning. To stop pressurized water, release trigger. DO NOT LEAVE UNIT

RUNNING WHEN NOT IN USE. If left running, water will continuously be forced through the

bypass hose and back into the pump, which will cause the pump to overheat.

6. To stop operation. Turn off engine. Squeeze and release wand trigger after shutting off to

relieve system of pressure.

7. Prior to storage – Inspect pressure washer for any damage or required maintenance. If your

machine is to be exposed to cold weather, please refer to winter pump instructions found in this

manual. If possible, do not allow unit to remain outside in the elements.

**Warning – If unit is left running while not in use, pump damage may occur. Do not leave unit running while not in use!

CHEMICAL APPLICATION

Downstream Chemical Injection: Standard on direct drive units, optional on others. High

Pressure Soap is an optional feature.

NOTE: Do not remove back flow preventer as chemical may flow back into potable water

source. For standard chemical injection, ensure the black nozzle is properly fitted at the

end of the wand. The chemical injector will not function if this nozzle is not fitted.

1. Chemical preparation – Select detergent/chemical that best suits your cleaning task. Prepare

dilution according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The volume of chemical being used may be

adjusted at valve located on the chemical injector. Note: for EK Pumps, the volume is preset and

cannot be adjusted.

2. Insert the intake hose, located on the chemical injector at the pump, into the chemical being

used.

3. Fit black nozzle on the standard wand, or for the dual wand, turn adjustment knob on, and

adjust for required flow rate. For high pressure soap systems, the black nozzle is not needed; use

one of the other wand nozzles.

4. To apply chemical, engage trigger on pressure wand assembly. Turn chemical injector’s nipple

to adjust flow. For the high pressure soap systems, open ball valve and engage trigger.

5. Chemical can now be applied through pressure wand assembly. It will take 5 – 15 seconds for

chemical to travel to spray nozzle. The volume of chemical being used may be adjusted at the

chemical injector.

6. For best results apply chemical from bottom to top, and allow for proper penetration time prior

to rinsing. Do not allow chemical to dry. Rinse from bottom to top and then top to bottom.

WINTER PUMP PROTECTION

The following procedure MUST be used when the pressure washing unit is stored at

temperatures below freezing.

1. All water must be drained or blown (via compressed air) from system. Connect a short piece

of male fitted ½” garden type hose on to the water inlet on the pump assembly.

2. Place the open end of the hose into a wide mouthed container of full strength, winter rated,

vehicle windshield washing fluid or Anti-Freeze, RATED FOR MINIMUM -40°C.

3. Connect the pressure wand assembly.

Cold Water Gas • Rev. 12/05/2017

4. Start the pump and engage trigger on the pressure gun. Operate the system until the fluid runs

the same color as the windshield washing fluid. Your machine is now prepared for storage.

5. Disconnect fluid supply, blow out with compressed air, and cap end.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Water Condition Use a softener on your water system if local water is known to be high in mineral content. The

advantages of soft water are very beneficial: prevents scale buildup in heater coil, cleans better

with considerably less detergent, and prevents streaking on painted surfaces and glass when

rinsing.
